Josh quickly ran downstairs to his niece's aid and asked, "Kendall, are you alright?" He asked as he tried to help her up.

He looked at his brother, disappointment evident on his face but Gabriel did not care. His daughter was ruining their plans, and he was not the type who liked losing, especially not to a nobody like Daniel Lane.

"She needed a wake-up slap! I have babied her all her life, and it's time for her to step up for the welfare of this family!" He yelled.

Kendall held her sore cheek, trying to push away the tears.

"I... am fine, uncle," she said quietly.

"What were you thinking?" Josh asked her. "How many times have I warned you to be careful with excess alcohol?"

"Are you two following me? Do I not have any privacy in this stupid family!"

"Yes, because we know you are stupid and you are always doing stupid things!" Her father replied.

"Gabriel, please!" Josh warned him.

"We were not following you; we were following Daniel, who was following you," Josh explained.

"What?" K

    Cathy finished her bath and entered the room to find it empty."Daniel," she called out, but he was nowhere in the room. Just like last time, he left her without saying where he was going.She looked at the food on the table with a smile. She had not eaten for days. She quickly dressed up and helped herself to the food. It was the first time she was testing Daniel's food, and it tasted so good. She couldn't help but fill herself with her entire plate.She never imagined him to be a good cook. She always imagined him to be a science boy obsessed with books and not the kitchen.Outside, Daniel was busy taking a jog. He had decided to go for a run in order to tame his hormones. He was so disgusted with himself for having seen Cathy's naked body, which was an invasion of her privacy. He was supposed to be protecting her and not peeping at her in the bathroom while she bathed.He kept telling himself that he was a total pervert. There was a part in his head that was reminding him it was an

    Daniel now sat in his chair, staring at images of the interior of the jewelry shop. Craig was in his office drinking himself to death while two of Mateo's men were in the back room playing poker.According to Rexa, that was always the case at night, while in the afternoon the shop was full of customers.He scratched his head, trying to think of a way to get the three out of the shop, but could only think of a way to get Craig out. Finding a way to get Mateo's men appeared to be a huge block in his plan.He got up and grabbed his keys; answers were not going to come while seated. A fast drive to the shop would give him some ideas, he thought as he drove off.He looked in his side mirrors and noticed Gabriel's men following him. The idiots appeared to be making it obvious for him to see them.He began wondering if it was the right choice to let Gabriel make the first move. The old man needed to get a taste of what he was capable of.He arrived at the jewelry store and sat outside where

    Daniel arrived at his company and found it swamped with the FBI. He got out of his car and tried to put on a straight face that was difficult for any person to read. He showed no fear, no concern, no worry, and no confidence. He was merely blank; he knew the Hamiltons were watching him, so he was not going to give them satisfaction.However, deep down he was scared, not for the company but for Rexa. The entire ride to the company, she had been unresponsive, and he knew something was wrong. Ignoring the FBI was out of the question, so he drove there to make an appearance. He had already called his lawyer, and she was on her way.He stood outside and had no intention of going into the building. The FBI smelt of the Hamiltons, and he suspected Gabriel was behind it.His lawyer arrived in minutes, and he instructed her to go inside and handle the FBI."But, sir, you have to be present in case they decide to lay charges," the lawyer advised."Screw them," he replied and got back into his c

    Craig drove back to his house shaking; he had been allowed by Mateo to wash up in one of his spare bathrooms before leaving, but he could still smell the taint of brains and blood all over him.He arrived home and went straight to his bathroom, ignoring his mother, who was eager for an update."Craig! Craig!" She kept calling, but he shut the door on her and locked it. He couldn't do it anymore; he was tired and couldn't think straight. The one person he had tried to protect was dead, and there was no sense in going on."Craig, listen to me, with the shop burned to the ground, we are very close to being free," his mother whispered from the other side of the door.Craig ignored her; the kind of hell they were in was the kind that was wrapped in strings of circles, and it was never going to end. Only death was going to free them, just like it had freed Cathy.Mateo had just killed his two top men in cold blood over an electric fault. That was the reality he was still trying to process.

    The room became quiet for some minutes, allowing the two to process what they had just watched. Daniel stood up and walked to the fridge, grabbing himself something cold before his thoughts went astray like last time."What the fuck is wrong with you?" Cathy yelled at him, finally finding the words."What did I do?" Daniel whispered in confusion. "How could you put cameras in my brother's room of all rooms?"Daniel stared at her in confusion, he could remember her jumping up and down in excitement over him bugging the house."I thought we wanted to see how he was doing. I mean how your family was doing?""You would have first checked alone!" she yelled at him. "How am I supposed to get the image of my brother fucking out of my head?""I am sorry; if I had known Kendall was over at the house, I would have taken extra care," he apologized.Cathy got off the bed screaming in frustration. She felt like gouging her eyes out. Seeing her brother on top of another woman even if it was only f

    Michael slowly began dragging her to the bedroom after making sure that the front door was closed. The woman he had loved with all his heart had betrayed him. He vividly remembered his father's warning him about her, but he was stupidly in love.He was too blinded by love, back then he had felt like he was on top of the world when she dumped a nobody like Daniel and chose him. She was the first woman that made him feel how it felt like to love a woman. It was because of her that he stopped womanizing and learned to settle for one woman. He had pictured his whole life with her, having a child and growing old with her. But now the woman he gave the world to made him hand over his father's company to the man that she was now dating. The nobody that he had once taken her from.He tied both of her hands and threw her across the room in rage. "I am going to skin you alive and watch you scream and bleed to death!" He yelled. "Michael… Michael," Shelly tried to speak up, but that only agit

    Daniel kept staring at Shelly long and hard; the woman had the audacity to threaten him. A small voice in the back of his head told him to get rid of her; she was becoming more of a liability than an asset. But on second thought, his plan to destroy Mateo was coming together, which meant the Hamiltons were next on his list."I can't take you home when I do not know which side you are on," he stated."I am on your side," she quickly replied."No, you're still standing on the line just to keep your ass safe," he said as he walked away. "Let's go for a ride; we don't know who's listening in," he suggested as he walked out the door.Shelly was left breathing heavily; for a second, she thought Daniel was going to end their agreement and get rid of her. Or maybe he was playing cool and was going to get rid of her. She hesitated a bit, trying to think.Daniel sat in his car waiting for her as he scrolled through his phone, trying to think clearly about his next move. When he noticed she was

    Soon word reached Mateo of his sewer-socked cocaine. Because Rexa had redirected all of the city sewers to Mateo's warehouse, it did not take long for the city council to notice and send people out in the field to locate where the blockage was.Soon the warehouse was swamped with law enforcement officials, and it was all over the news. It was from the media that Mateo saw his hundred million dollars worth of cocaine in sewer water and not from his useless men.He watched the news coverage in his mansion shaking; first, it was Cathy, then the Nash Jewelry shop, then his ship of gold that he was yet to track, and now his cocaine was in sewer water.He felt like someone was holding his neck and strangling him while he just watched. For the first time in his life, he was helpless and could just watch as his empire was torn apart limb by limb. He couldn't help but feel like everything was being staged. The events were too close to each other for him not to be suspicious, but there was no

    Daniel placed both the heart and the brain in different cooler boxes, took two long trips to different parts of the country, and buried them both in different locations.His wish was for the old man to never see the sun or daylight again and for the stories of his existence to be a mere myth and forgotten with time.Once he was done, he instructed Rexa to delete the memory of the location in his head. Even Rexa went for it and deleted hers too si that Daniel's future generation would never locate the two organsHe went back for his body and burnt it while Max and his mother's bodies were taken back to the underground lab for the police to find, and the cause of death was ruled as lead poisoning from the leakage from the mine due to the blackout. By the time he headed home, it was morning, and all he wanted was to get some good sleep. He went straight to his mansion and found Aunt Carol on her feet, training her legs."It's over now, we can now pop that champagne," he announced.Aunt

    "If you want to live, stay calm and answer her questions!" Daniel warned them.He knew he was no longer in control, and Rexa was controlling everything using her own mind.Max tried to move his aching body across the room. Everything hurt; he felt like he had been tossed by an elephant on thorny rocks.Daniel moved closer to the bed, curious to see what Rexa was earlier calling a non-living thing."Move away from him!" Angela yelled at him.But he ignored her and was meant with a greyish-blackish tone of mass. It was human from the shape of the head and body, but the skin looked like it was about to rot but paused.He gulped as if he were about to vomit; it was not smelling, but the sight was nauseating."How dare you?" The old man yelled at him."What the fuck is this?" Daniel asked, looking in Angela's direction, but she looked away."A MAN THAT REFUSED TO DIE," Rexa popped up, "AND I THINK HIS CONDITION HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WHAT HE TOOK ON THAT SHIP," she added."Shit, I guess

    "What did you just say?" Daniel asked."RODRICK IGRAM IS ALIVE, YOUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER'S FRIEND, THE ONE THAT DIED," Rexa replied.Daniel shook his head, "That's impossible, how old was my grandfather when he first found you?" "18 YEARS OLD, SAME AGE AS RODRICK.""So that means Rodrick was born in 1807, and that would make him over 200 years old.""DANIEL, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS; HE HAS TENS OF NEEDLES STICKING OUT OF HIS BODY, IT'S HIM; I KNOW IT'S HIM," Rexa replied.Inside the lab, Max called for backup and tried to get the magnates working, but without electricity, they were useless."She is here," his grandfather whispered."Who?""The relic, she is here," he replied with glittering eyes.Max quickly checked his camera footage and asked his men to search for Daniel, but they could not find anything."That's impossible, Daniel is nowhere near here.""She can manipulate sound or any form of matter, so do not expect to see Daniel near here," his grandfather laughed.Max

    "Anyone try to touch those guns and I swear, I will blow off their heads!" He warned on top of his voice.Rachel stared at him, shocked, while Cathy and Craig held each other's hands and moved to the other corner.Daniel removed his phone and made a call, instructing someone to come and guard the house. He ended the call and looked in Rachel's direction."Please stay in this house, and I will deal with everything," he assured her."You have no right to threaten me," she finally replied. "Actually I do, or maybe you want me to snap Mateo back into reality, and believe me, he still has men outside prison who he can hire and take you out!" Daniel warned.Rachel began biting her lips as all her words disappeared from her lips. Daniel just threatened her, he threatened her in front of her children."Mom, just do what Daniel is asking you to," Cathy finally spoke."Quiet!" Rachel yelled, breathing heavily."Watch what will come out of your mouth, because I am ready to make you sleep until

    When morning came and news of George Meyers' arrest was all over the news. Daniel, who had not slept because of the tunnel below Max's hospital, sat next to his aunt, who was in tears.Finally, the day she had always hoped for came after her five years in a coma, but it was worth the sleep. She held her nephew's hand with tears in her eyes."You did it," she whispered. "Your parents are looking down happily on their son."Daniel smiled at her."I will pop the wine after I get the head behind the order," he replied."Did you talk to Max?" She asked.Daniel analyzed her question, "Did you know about his real parents?" He asked."He confessed when I was in my coma," she replied. "I hope you understand he is just a victim of his family's greed.""I know we talked, though I had to kidnap him in order to make him talk," he confessed."What? Please tell me you did not hurt him." "Of course not; he is fine," Daniel assured her.Cathy, who was taking a shower, finished up and joined them."Gr

    Daniel slowly took a seat, trying to process everything. His best friend was Max's half-brother. He stared long and hard at him. There was a little resemblance physically and even in the way they carried themselves with the "I do not care" attitude, though Max was a total jerk if one did not know him personally.Zain was a more free type compared to Max, who always seemed to be above others. It was only after some time that he eventually warmed up. He wondered if that was part of the plan so that he could not suspect anything.He had a lot of questions in his head and a lot of memories kept popping up, but he could not comprehend the fact that the partner was around him all this time and neither George nor Josh or Gabriel suspected anything."Are you the one that shut down power at the Jerk's hospital?" Zain asked, trying to snap him out of his thoughts."Yeah, there is a private elevator in the hospital that leads underground, right?" Daniel asked."Tell me where Kendall is, and I wi

    Craig's heart began beating fast, and he was not sure how to react. The old man was sick in the head. He had held the man in high esteem, but knowing the man personally, made him want to vomit.First, he forced his niece to have sex against her will, and when that was not enough, he even went further and stole sperm from the man he drugged her with."Are we together?" Josh asked.Craig cleared his throat."Does Daniel know about this sperm?" Craig finally asked."No…," Josh replied. "This is about freeing your sister, but if you want, you can tell Daniel and ruin your chances.""This is betraying Daniel!" Craig raised his voice. "What kind of person are you?""Does Daniel know about the contract you signed with the partner?" Josh asked with a smile.Craig looked away."So what you are doing is not betraying, but what I am doing is betraying?" He asked. "If I am not correct, I would guess that you are going to allow Daniel to have a child that will be owned by the partner?" He asked.

    Daniel clenched his shaking hand, realizing how deep the betrayal was. A voice deep inside of him told him to go upstairs and confront them, but another voice told him to stay calm and use his head."WE FOUND THE PARTNER, DANIEL," Rexa whispered in excitement. "THIS EXPLAINS HOW ZAIN KNEW ABOUT THE RELIC FROM CHILDHOOD," she added.Daniel closed his eyes; he was not as excited as she was. He was somehow disappointed and not impressed that it turned out to be Max's family.But he was going to give credit where it was due. They hid perfectly in plain sight and knew when to show their faces. "WHAT'S THE PLAN?" Rexa asked, eager to take Max down."Shut down the building!" Daniel replied"WHAT?" Rexa was a bit confused."Electricity, Internet, I mean everything, shut it down!" He ordered"DANIEL, THIS IS A HOSPITAL, AND PEOPLE WILL DIE," Rexa warned."That's where generators come in," he replied, his tone a bit shaky. "DANIEL, WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH LIVES," Rexa warned.Daniel
